By the time dessert came, I was ready to haul Alex over my shoulder and take her to my bed. The caveman act was new to me, but I couldn’t help it with her. Every time she took another bite of food, she closed her eyes and let out a little moan of pleasure that shot straight to my dick. And the exposed cleavage of that little blue dress was killing me. Every time she moved or shifted in her seat, her tits bounced, just a little—just enough—to get my adrenaline pumping. And any time men walked by our table, I would notice their stare attach itself to Alex. They would look her up and down and zero in on those curves that were meant for me.

She never noticed. In fact, I don’t think she took her eyes off either me or the food all night long. Which I loved about her. But something shifted in me. Something primal and heated; I felt it running through my veins. I needed her, and I needed to make her mine.

“I guess I just never figured we’d even see each other again. You always talked about it being too small, too quiet. I thought you would have ended up in a city somewhere. What brought you back to town, anyway?”

Oh, that’s right, we were in the middle of a conversation. Some dick-bag tourist who was ogling her had distracted me. I considered her question.

There was so much to relearn about each other. It was a strange space to be in. To feel so connected to someone, but at the same time be filled with such wonder. Back then, I loved this girl with all of my nineteen-year-old heart. But there was over a decade of each other’s lives we missed. Years of growing and becoming who we were, and I wanted to catch up on all of it. I had no reason to know that I could still love her, still want her like I did back then. But I knew it anyway. Deep in my bones, I knew this like I knew my own soul.

I thought about what to tell her. Not that I wasn’t going to be honest, but I thought about how much to tell her right now. How much could I open up to her after knowing the pain she had been through? And how could I make her understand I was here, and I was in it? I wanted to share everything. But I started with the simplest, but most painful, truth.

“Things didn’t quite go according to plan. I loved the Marines. I loved my work, and I loved serving my country. But losing my parents…” I struggled with the words, but then realized she would understand. When I looked into her eyes, I saw that understanding. Alex was a caring person, anyone could see that. But there was so much more. A deep-rooted empathy. A yearning to connect with people. And damn, that broke my heart just as much as it soothed it.
